BODY

WHEREAS, this Board by Resolution No. R-832-07 dated July 10, 2007, previously declared the acquisition of land for the right-of-way needed for improvements to 87th Avenue from 154th Street to NW 186th Street in Miami-Dade County, Florida, to be a public necessity and authorized the acquisition of land therefor by eminent domain proceedings; and
WHEREAS, the owners of the parcels of land set forth in the attached land acquisition summary sheet have offered to settle for the payment and upon the terms specified therein; and
WHEREAS, the County Attorney hereby recommends the settlement amount as set forth in the attached land acquisition summary sheet,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that the County Attorney is hereby authorized to compromise and settle on behalf of the County all claims against the County in eminent domain proceedings for the parcel and for substantially the terms and the amount specified in the attached land acquisition summary sheet attached hereto and made a part hereof; and authorizes use of Charter County Transportation Surtax Funds.
